Could you not sit a 47 x 50 or 75 down to 0mm firring piece on top of the existing rafters?

Scaffold boards tend to be Spruce, it will darken however more yellow than Pine which tends to go more orangey.

Me too, my eldest son races Scumacher cars at a national level.

The boards will usually cup in the opposite direction to the picture which you originally uploaded.

The only MDF on the market for external use is Tricoya. Very expensive.

Jacob, apologies I was rushing and should have typed centre not heart free. Yes the product is cut to size at the mill removing the centre (pith) and then kiln dried. As opposed to the old days where we convert 100x200mm or 100x225mm.
